I really want to get this recipe into your hands before summer unofficially ends as school begins. Some of you may have already crossed that threshold, but here in Ohio, we have one last weekend of summertime bliss before we put our backpacked bundles of joy onto the bus next week.
If you want to hold onto the last wisps of summer, this dessert will do it. A simple grilled peach topped with honey cream is an amazing way to end a Sunday evening. This “cream” is actually made by thinning out a little nonfat Greek yogurt to make a deliciously sweet topping for a perfectly ripe peach. Another summer in the books. I hope yours was a great one.
